Deperdussin 1913 plans
Hello,
I'm looking for blueprints/plans for an accurate replica Deperdussin 1913 monocoque. I'd prefer all original designs and construction methods, but anything will be useful. Should be a fun project, I'll be sure to make a nice build log when I get started. Thanks, Ed |

I have a set that Ellic Somer gave me. They do not have airfoil coordinates though. I'll dig them out in the next few days and make a copy if you are interested.
Pete somewhere here I posted a bunch of photos I took at the San Diego museum. Let me know if you cannot find them or are interested in them. |

Thanks for the replys,
I'd be very interested in the plans and pictures you have Butch. I'll try the WW1 aero folks too. I'm trying to gather any info I can on this bird, there doesn't seem to be too much... -Ed |

Deperdussin 1913
 Not knowing what a Deperdussin was, I had to go find one to see...... a fine looking machine. I hope to see more varied WWI aircraft attempted and built. Good luck with this Ed.

Deperdussin
Cole Palen scratch-built a Type A Deperdussin. May still be on display at Old Rhinebeck Aerrodrome. See:

Wonder why Cole never flew her? To hairy even for him with wing warping?
Can not imagine that with a twin 160HP rotary up front! She is still sitting in the museum up on the hill. WF2 Last edited by womenfly2; 28 July 2008 at 06:41 AM. |

Deperdussin 1913
There is an excellent original example in the museum at Le Bourget airport in Paris.
It is small, lean and mean and looks like it would be a handfull in any phase of flight. Mustang |
